[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2811604, member: 1892"]That's an "Ooooh, why didn't I think of that?" response. :) Put the coffee filter into a small strainer for structural support.

I don't know for sure how that will play, but it's worth trying. If the acetone does, in fact, melt the filter it won't really hurt your initial soak because you'll see it soon enough to over-contaminate the solution. I did some checking (fair warning, the answer to the question of whether a coffee filter withstands acetone will take you to places where they're talking about a skill you may not want in your Internet record) and found a bit of empiric support for the theory.[/QUOTE]
